Traffic will be detoured one block east to Town Hall Road.

The closure is in conjunction with local fire departments that will be participating in a practice burn of the former Fifty Lakes Store. If weather or wind conditions are poor, the burn will be postponed to Sunday, Feb. 23.

The structure is being removed as part of the CSAH 3 reconstruction project scheduled for this summer. Improvements will provide a 12-foot driving lane with 8-foot paved shoulders, turn/bypass lanes at various locations, and improved sight distances.

Contact Jory Danielson, maintenance supervisor, with any questions or concerns regarding the intersection closure at 218-822-2682 or 218-820-9922.

After graduating high school in 2004, I attended Central Lakes College in Staples, MN for 2 years where I got a diploma in Communication Art and Design. I then transfered up to Bemidji State University in, you guessed it, Bemidji, MN. In the spring of 2009, I graduated from BSU. Then in the fall of 2009 I got a job at Echo Publishing, a sister company to the Brainerd Dispatch.
